English the applicable shipping requirements. If utilizing the shipping cap, the pack will be considered 3 batteries at the Watt hour rating indicated for "Shipping". If shipping without the cap or in a tool, the pack will be considered one battery at the Watt hour rating indicated next to "Use". Example of Use and Shipping Label Marking USE: 120 Wh Shipping: 3 x 40 Wh For example, Shipping Wh rating might indicate 3 x 40 Wh, meaning 3 batteries of 40 Watt hours each. The Use Wh rating might indicate 120 Wh (1 battery implied). Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B) Some DeWALT battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery pack. The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of charge remaining in the battery pack according to the following indicators: 75-100% charged 51-74% charged < 50% charged Pack needs to be charged To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button. A combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged. Fig. B NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation based on product components, temperature and end-user application.

The RBRC® Seal The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithiumion batteries (or battery packs) indicates that the costs to recycle these batteries (or battery packs) at the end of their useful life have already been paid by DeWALT. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the Call 2 Recycle® program provides an environmentally conscious alternative. Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with DeWALT and other battery users, has established the program in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries to an authorized DeWALT service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery. RBRC® is a registered trademark of Call 2 Recycle, Inc. Important Safety Instructions for the Portable Power Station/Charger WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions for the battery packs and portable power station/charger. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. • The portable power station/charger in ChargerIn Mode is not intended for any uses other than charging DeWALT 20V Max* rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution. • Do not expose a portable power station/charger to rain or snow. • Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the portable power station/charger. This will reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug and cord. • Make sure that the extension cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. • Do not expose the portable power station/charger to wet or damp areas. Use only in a dry location. Do not allow any liquid to get inside the portable power station/ charger. Do not submerge the portable power station/ charger in any liquid. • An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating, and the voltage drop caused by the use of extension cords, given different electrical loads. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord. 4
